It’s kind of like a beach club, I really liked how nice and cozy the vibe is, the houses look very much alike, almost all of them are white or light-colored, but each has its own personality. There is a pool and a private beach, so we really didn’t need to leave anywhere else for our mini-vacation.

The first thing we did was decide where everyone was going to sleep, once decided, we unpacked and changed. The kids were so excited, they got their swimsuits on and left right away to explore!

Afterward, we divided into two groups, some moms went to the pool with the kids and some went to buy groceries for our stay. I went in the group to buy groceries because I love to cook and love to go out and explore. It was cool to buy for so many people which I don’t really do. I enjoy buying cheeses, Mexican pan dulce, fruits and sweets that can only be found there.

Returning dinner, we shared a while and went to rest. Sure, especially children, did not want to sleep, Adri stayed with two friends in a room he called the man cave, because it was as it was passed it there all the time, it was dark half and had a disorder always , Hahaha!

The next day was a full day, it was cool because we ate breakfast calmly, ah …! I made arepas for everybody!! I think almost everybody like them! But I was so busy and didn’t take any pictures of them. Then we went to the beach, there is a nice walkway to get there which is right in front many other houses with beautiful details and designs you can admire while you walk.

At the beach the children explored, played ball or with the sand; they also found some sea creatures. After a while, they went back to the pool for a little bit and then it was dinner time!

We planned for pasta but we had the idea of making a Pasta Bar because there were many things that we could add to the pasta so that way everybody could choose their own, and was delicious. We also had chicken and vegetables cooked on the grill, uff, my mouth is watering as I write this. Juanita, one of the moms, cooked the main delicious white sauce for the pasta and a garlic spinach: delish (maybe I should ask her for the recipe and post it here one day!)!

Traveling with a large group of people always provides learning opportunities, especially with friends with whom you are not used to traveling with. I think that on this trip we all bonded and friendships strengthened a bit more and although the kids don’t speak much Spanish among them they were surrounded by more Spanish than what they have day by day in their homes. I really love it because I can speak Spanish to all of them (not only mine)!

What are your experiences traveling with a large group or traveling with bilingual kids? Would love to know!
